' Application filed July 9, 1912. Serial No. 708,397.

subject of the Emperor-of Germany, residin at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harrows,

of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein" to the accompanying drawing. a

This-invention relates to har'rows, and the primary object of my invention is to furnish an agricultural implement/0f the above type with a novel adjusting mechanism whereby the body of the harrow can be raised or low- Y ered, particularly when of a field.

A further object moving onto and off of this invention is to I provide an implement of the above type Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of latents,

Washington, G.

that is durable, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate and highly eflicient for the purposes for which it is intended.

WVith the above and other objects in view, the invention resides in' a noval construction,-'-combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter-specifically described and {then claimed.

Reference will now behad to the drawings, wherein like numerals denote corresponding parts throughout the several views in Which':

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the harrow. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, and Fig. .3 is a side elevation of the harrow.

A harrow in accordance with this invention comprises a rectangular frame 1 composed of bars that are arranged at right i angles to each other and at the joints or inner sections of said bars there are depending harrow teeth 2 that are suitably con-' The teeth 2 are nected to theframe 1Q adapted to engage the soil and disintegrate or till the soil to that extent that it is in condition for seeding. One corner or angle of the frame 1 forms the rear part of the implement and the opposite corner or angle,

the front end of the implement. The rear end of the implement has a bracket 3 and adjustably mounted in said bracket by a pin or screw 4 isa truck 5 fora revoluble ance 10 of the ordinary and wellknowntype. I

The frame 1, intermediate the ends thereof, is provided with transverselyfalinin bearings 11 for a rock shaft 12 that has the ends thereof provided with cranks-13- supporting revoluble wheels 14, Mounted upon the shaft12 is the lowerend of an operating lever 15 and this-lever is provided with; a conventional form v of locking mechanism which is associated with a segment shaped rack-17, carried by the frame 1'. 1

\Iounted upon the frame, 1, adjacent to the rack 17, is a resilient or spring seatsupport 18 having a seat 19 and a foot rest 20. An operator .seated upon the seat 19.can easily manipulate the lever 15 to raise and lower the wheels 14 relatively to the frame 1, whereby the position of the forwardmost harrow teeth 2 relatively to the soil, can be regulated. Itis also'possible to elevatethe.

teeth 9 above the soil, whereby the harrow can be readily moved on and off a field.

\Vood and metal can be combined to provide a durable harrow and I wouldhave it understood that the same can be made of various sizes.

What I claim is An agricultural implement comprising a frame diamond shape in plan and having its forward corner provided with means for connecting a draft appliance thereto and its rear corner having secured thereto a rearwardly projecting bracket, a truck having a vertically extending portion projecting through said bracket, means carried by the bracket for adjustably connecting said vertically disposed portion thereof, and a trailer wheel carried by said. truck.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signa ure in the presence of two witnesses.
